Instinctively us a writer, he gathered material and impress- • ions during those days that would ' make him the inevitable biographer > of his Chief. Whatever else may be said of . Josephus Daniels, he did one thing > for the Navy—he established prohibition in his department, long before it came to the country, in the • spirt of a Prophet. This act required courage to withstand the sneers and jibes, but -ever since the day of his . birth at Washington, North Carolina. t in 1862. during the Civil War time, there has been a feeling that he possessed a stiff backbone. Educated in the Wilson Collegiate 1 Institute, at the age of eighteen he ' became editor of the Wilson. North i Caroline Advance* and that title has been his life slogan. Five years later he found himself a full fledge member of the liar, and while he did not practice. he has never ceased hi* study of 1 law.

We are burning oil —nowadays.. That means less smoke and more speed.” =. tion that occurred in the Navy during the Spanish-Amerian War. The traditions of the Navy were associated with the family of Mrs. Daniels and this is accounted one reason for his choice to take the Navy portfolio in the Wilson Cabinet. In the Navy Department Josephus Daniels met emergencies coming thick and fast in the same manner as when he sat in the editorial chair. His facile pencil and pen was the last work on many an important order affecting the welfare of millions. Rushing supplies overseas and providing destroyers as convoys to protect the two million soldier* who embarked will stand out as an tin pgralled achievement in the annals of history— showing what the Navy accomplished during th? World War. In appearance Josephus Daniel r is of sturdy build and carries his bead forward and a little to starboard Smooth faced, he talks quickly and decisively, with "bridge” emphasis. With searching, kindly eyes, he in dulges his sense of humor. “We sailed up Salt Creek fast and fnrlous in 1820. hut we are Hading that the tide ebbs and flow*, and look out for the old Democratic < raft reaching port in 18J6." ’ “Who will be nominated?" I asked. * “There way be fifteen likely candidate* start in the race at Madison Square convention, but lock out for a pennant winner." . "What will be the issue?" 1 whispered. "We arc burning oil—nowaday*. That means less smoke and more speed.” ho replied with a Josephus twinkle.
